The inspiration for flying robotic systems has often been derived from the wing dynamics of flying animal species such as birds, bats, and insects. While the wing movements of birds and bats are well understood, the processes underlying the wing movements of many insects remain a mystery to researchers. Recent studies conducted by researchers at

The shortage of intravenous (IV) fluids in Australia, particularly saline and compound sodium lactate, is a concerning issue that has been exacerbated by higher-than-expected demand and manufacturing issues. The Therapeutic Goods Administration recently added IV fluids to the list of medicines in short supply, highlighting the urgent need to address this issue. The government’s response
For centuries, Native Americans have used cranberries as a natural remedy for bacterial infections, particularly those affecting the bladder. In recent times, unsweetened cranberry juice has gained popularity as a recommended treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs). Despite the lack of concrete scientific evidence supporting this claim, research conducted at Bond University in Australia has
Researchers have made strides in identifying potential locations in the brain where schizophrenia first emerges. Through a new analytical technique called ‘epicenter mapping’, a team of scientists studied brain scans of individuals with schizophrenia and compared them to those of healthy controls. The results highlighted abnormalities in two specific brain structures, namely Broca’s area and
The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is currently witnessing a battle between companies that prefer to keep their datasets and algorithms private (closed-source AI) and those that advocate for transparency by making their AI models publicly accessible (open-source AI). Meta, the parent company of Facebook, recently entered the fray by releasing a new collection of
The recent setback in the deal to bring hydrogen-powered trucks to New Zealand, coupled with the removal of government rebates for green hydrogen users, has cast a shadow of uncertainty over the country’s transition to green hydrogen. While the government has invested significantly in green hydrogen infrastructure and technology, critical voices have been largely absent
In recent research led by Stanford University, the potential of utilizing ancient technology dating back to the Bronze Age has been uncovered as a solution to achieving the United Nations’ ambitious climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050. This innovative technology involves the use of heat-absorbing firebricks assembled in an insulated container to store
Google’s recent advertisement for its Gemini artificial intelligence, titled “Dear Sydney,” failed to resonate with some Olympics viewers. The ad, which aimed to showcase the capabilities of Gemini AI, featured a father praising the tool for writing a fan letter to US hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone on behalf of his daughter. However, the ad faced backlash
Recent reports have surfaced accusing Nvidia of abusing its market dominance within the chipmaking industry. Rivals have raised concerns about Nvidia’s tactics in selling chips that power artificial intelligence, prompting the U.S. Justice Department to launch an investigation into these claims. The Justice Department is reportedly looking into allegations that Nvidia is engaged in anti-competitive
3D-printed concrete technology is rapidly gaining popularity in the construction industry due to its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and design flexibility. However, the limitations of printable materials have raised concerns regarding sustainability and durability. In a groundbreaking study led by engineers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science, the potential of cellulose nanofibrils
The recent research conducted at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis focused on the effects of psilocybin on the brain networks of healthy participants. The study involved scanning the brains of seven individuals multiple times before, during, and after ingesting psilocybin. The use of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) allowed researchers to
The recent lawsuit filed by the United States against TikTok has brought to light serious allegations of the app violating children’s privacy by collecting data about them without the permission of their parents. This accusation underscores a major concern regarding the safety of children who use the popular video-sharing app. The Department of Justice and
Predicting tipping points for critical Earth system components has always been a challenge for climate scientists. The study published in Science Advances sheds light on the uncertainties that make it difficult to accurately predict when these critical events will occur. The study highlights the complexities involved in forecasting tipping times for components such as the
The universe is a vast expanse filled with matter, but why is there an apparent absence of antimatter? This intriguing question has puzzled scientists for decades. The BASE international research collaboration at CERN, led by Professor Dr. Stefan Ulmer from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, has made significant strides in addressing this fundamental discrepancy. By focusing
In a groundbreaking study published in Nano-Micro Letters, a research team led by Prof. Meng Guowen, Prof. Han Fangming, Prof. Wei Bingqing, and Prof. Li Xiaoyan has developed high-density three-dimensional carbon tube nanoarray electrodes for line-filtering capacitors. This innovative technology has the potential to revolutionize high-performance miniaturized filter devices, offering significant advantages over traditional aluminum
